Village Pretzels is renowned in the area for its Bavarian soft pretzels and great deals - after 5pm, hot dogs are only $1. Village Pretzels has been in business since 1972, but owners Steve and Jean Leaventon opened a shop at this location eight years ago. Village Pretzels has a 1950s-style checkerboard floor, and the walls are lined with drawings done by local children. The Leaventons give back to their community by often donating gift certificates to various organizations and charities.
